What’s The Difference Between A Broker And A Manufacturer?

You have options when buying a pre-engineered steel building, both in terms of product and provider. Most steel building suppliers are either brokers, meaning they serve as middlemen between manufacturers and customers, or manufacturers, meaning they handle all aspects of design and creation in-house. The majority of today’s prefabricated metal building suppliers are brokers, rather than manufacturers. Yet, this does not mean working with a broker lands you a better deal or a higher-quality product. On the contrary, many metal building brokers cut corners and seek out the least-expensive route at the expense of the customer, and they often do so because they make the majority of their money on the markup. This is just one of many reasons you may want to consider purchasing your building through a metal building manufacturer, rather than through a broker. Here are a few more....

Foam Insulated Panels

Metal Insulated Foam Panels are an ideal roofing and sheeting solution for steel buildings. They are designed to act as a thermal barrier to improve energy efficiency in your building. Insulated foam panels offer high R-Values, (up to R-48) and combine strength, flexibility and outstanding thermal performance. We offer several colors to choose from and optional façade finishes including stucco, embossed, smooth and high rib steel panels. Our insulated panels are painted with long lasting Kynar paint systems that provide little to no maintenance, they are made to withstand weathering and fading from the sun. Insulated Metal Panels are available in lengths up to 50’; end lap joints can be added to cover more space on longer roof runs. Individual Panel thicknesses range anywhere from 2” to 6”, and will achieve R-Values of approximately 7.5 per inch.

Energy Saver Insulation System

This innovative energy saving insulation system has one of the highest thermal performance results in the industry. The system is made up of a network of steel banding and a seamless energy saver fabric that resists tearing while concealing the secondary structural steel. The energy saver system provides a smooth, yet durable finished interior surface. During installation, a liner system is set in place to begin creation of the building envelope, then two layers of unfaced fiberglass are placed between the purlins and over the top of the purlins, the final step is placing the outside panels. This system offers the best level of thermal performance with one of the highest vapor retarder ratings available. The fabric liner used in the energy saver insulation system is tested and approved to be OSHA compliant for fall protection.

  • Meets and often exceeds IECC 2015 energy code requirements
  • Provides a clean and finished appearance
  • Improves acoustical performance vs. no insulation
  • Creates a building envelope
  • Continuous insulation method

Double Layer Insulation System

High R-Value Insulation Systems installed in steel buildings improve thermal performance results. The higher the r-value the better, increasing the thermal barrier is the best way to protect against moisture build-up and condensation. Double layer insulation systems are generally chosen where the climate sees regular changes, rainy seasons and snow are a large factor in deciding what r-value you should choose for your insulation system. Local building codes for your area require a specific level of energy efficiency and a higher r-value is required to adhere to the energy codes in certain regions.

Learn More About Double Layer Insulation System

Single Layer Insulation System

When installing a single layer insulation system into a steel building, one layer of Fiberglass insulation is usually placed over the top of the roof purlins and/or on the outside of the wall girts before the exterior panels are secured. Then the vapor barrier facing is placed with the faced side towards the inside of the building, this will give the building interior a clean finished look. The thickest insulation system that can be achieved using a single layer of insulation is 6″; this results in a final r-value of R-19. Anything thicker than 6″ will cause the sheeting material to develop an oil can or wave effect. If you want to achieve a higher R-Value than R-19 a Double Layer System or energy saver system is required.
